The San Francisco 49ers have agreed to a trade with the Washington Commanders to acquire pass rusher Chase Young, CBS Sports Lead NFL Insider Jonathan Jones reports. To land Young, the Niners have shipped out a third-round pick, according to NFL Media.
Young had been one of the more well-known names on the trade block leading up to Tuesday’s trade deadline across the league. Earlier in the day, the Commanders dealt away fellow defensive lineman Montez Sweat, but that didn’t preclude them from also looking to deal Young as CBS Sports NFL Insider Josina Anderson reported that they were still fielding offers for the former No. 2 overall pick. Well, San Francisco came calling and has now added a top-tier talent to pair opposite Nick Bosa.
